Buckeyes

Posted by Sheri on Sunday, December 18th, 2011

Buckeyes are balls of gussied-up peanut butter covered in chocolate, and are a big thing in Ohio, apparently. Larry grew up in Ohio but he didn’t seem to recognize them, although he’s not a huge peanut butter dessert fan anyway. Neither am I, so I expected to just make these and then foist them off [...]

Baked French Toast

Posted by Sheri on Sunday, December 4th, 2011

I didn’t have high expectations for this week’s Baked Sunday Mornings project. I don’t like French toast. Which is weird, since I love bread and I love custard. But the two together? Bleh. I’m picky about bread pudding, too, and that’s what this version of French toast resembles. The great thing about this is that [...]

Boston Cream Pie Cake

Posted by Sheri on Sunday, November 20th, 2011

If I have one major baking weakness, I’d say it’s layer cakes. Especially layer cakes where I have to cut layers in half, and multi-layer cakes. Frosting covers most sins so I usually get by, but this cake isn’t frosted. And there’s no photo in the book so I’m just guessing it’s not supposed to [...]

Pumpkin Cheddar Muffins

Posted by Sheri on Sunday, November 6th, 2011

I think a number of us in the Baked Sunday Mornings were skeptical about these muffins. I know I was. Pumpkin muffins, okay. But with cheddar and cayenne? Not so sure. But I’ve baked enough out of Baked Explorations to know that I should just trust in the recipe and go for it. So I [...]

Chocolate Mint Thumbprints

Posted by Sheri on Sunday, October 23rd, 2011

I made these cookies for Larry to bring to a community meeting. I wasn’t sure about them at first – the filling is extremely minty, but when paired with the subtle mint chocolate cookie, it just works. The other thing I love about these cookies is that they’re adorable. I used Green & Black’s mint [...]

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cake

Posted by Sheri on Sunday, October 9th, 2011

I wasn’t crazy about this cake. Larry says it’s growing on him, but I don’t know, there’s just something about the flavor that I didn’t like. I took most of it to work for a Thursday afternoon happy hour and a lot of people had more than one piece, so maybe it’s just me. The [...]

Honey Corn Muffins

Posted by Sheri on Sunday, September 25th, 2011

I think cornmeal is one of the best ingredients around. It’s versatile and hearty and is equally good in sweet and savory applications. These muffins are published in the “breakfast” section of the cookbook, but I think they’d be great with chili. They’re easy to make and not too sweet. I used a buckwheat honey [...]

Coffee Ice Cream

Posted by Sheri on Sunday, August 28th, 2011

I had mixed feelings about this week’s Baked Sunday Mornings project. Coffee ice cream? I don’t drink coffee, and even though I like the smell, it’s been so long since I’ve drank it that I don’t like the flavor anymore. Especially in desserts. But I’m always up for making ice cream – this is a [...]

Grasshopper Bars

Posted by Sheri on Sunday, August 14th, 2011

If you love After Eight candies (I do), you will love these grasshopper bars. They taste exactly alike. The bars have a fudgey brownie base, mint buttercream in the middle, and are topped with a chocolate ganache. The mint flavor comes from a combination of peppermint extract and creme de menthe. I didn’t know anything [...]

Mom’s Olive Oil Orange Bundt

Posted by Sheri on Sunday, July 31st, 2011

I love making Bundt cakes. I think it’s because it’s an excuse to buy interesting Bundt pans. I don’t know if this one is still being made, but I love it, especially when the cake is sprinkled with some powdered sugar. This cake is humble and somewhat plain, but delicious and simple to make. I’m [...]
